Solutions and Chemical Reactions

This page begins the attempt of this author to offer some notes that have previously been found either on a chalkboard or an overhead projector. If you find that the notes offer a clear understanding of the underlying concepts, then this Web complex will have been worth it. Please send me e-mail if you have any suggestions or comments. If you click on an option and it doesn't connect, it is probably because that page is under heavy construction and is unavailable at the time. Try again later!!

Most chemical reactions occur in some form of solution. Many of them occur in aqueous solution where water is the solvent (dissolving medium). Indeed our bodies are mostly water by mass, and our planet on which we live has two thirds of its surface covered by water. Since water and solutions of water play such an important part of our chemical world, it is important to investigate the properties of solutions which is the focus of this unit.
